Arriving in Kailua-Kona!

ALOHA!
So its day 3 in Hawaii and I still cant believe we "live" here!  The two ladies we are staying with are awesome! They have put us up in a big tent in the backyard and have been so helpful in showing us around and driving us wherever we needed to go. We are 3 hours behind you guys which is actually nice because we have been going to bed early and getting up early, which is a big change for Tyler haha
Yesterday we bought our moped! It is our baby! its so nice not to rely on someone for transportation. We bought it basically brand new with only 14 miles on it, and it fits both of us! PLUS since its under 50cc's we dont need to have it licensed or insured! not to mention the gas gauge has not even moved since yesterday! So glad we dont have to fill up a car for 4.60 a gallon! 
In the tent at night your laying there and feel like your in the middle of the jungle, there are so many different noises i dont even know what's out there.  But no encounters with big spiders or roaches yet, so thats a relief :)   Mongoose and wild turkeys are very prominent here, though. Pretty cool to see like ten turkeys just walking around in the yard :)
Me and Ty took a bottle of rum and some POG juice down to the beach today and laid out on the sand. Poor Tyler was walking out in the ocean and stepped on a sea urchin! Apparently the only way to make the pain stop is to pee on it! I promptly began referring to him as piss feet, it was all very pathetic :)  But he is better now and after some lunch we are getting ready to go out to look at some places. I dont think it will actually feel like we live here until we get a place of our own. cant wait to find something!
We both had to get tested for TB in order to get a job here, so we did that yesterday as well. tomorrow we get the results, and then Tyler has an interview at Bubba Gumps! I have a good feeling he will get it! cross your fingers for us! 
I guess thats all for now, update you guys more later! 
loves, 
Laur

  1. Lauren and Ty,
    This is such a great experience for the two of you. It seems odd for you to refer to Lori and Liane as "the ladies." I remember so clearly having Lori on my shoulders when she was a baby and walking her around Mount Tabor. They are wonderful people. They will be your friends forever. BUY A DAMN HELMET WOULD YA? Love you both, Tutu
